Semax testing.
Heptapeptide — ACTH(4-7) fused to Pro-Gly-Pro.
The short answer
Semax is tested by reverse-phase HPLC (UV 214 nm): chromatographic purity plus duplicate quantification in mg per vial against a qualified commercial reference standard. Identity is assessed by retention time against the same standard, with mass-spectrometry confirmation available as an add-on. €133 per vial, 48–72 h target turnaround, and the result is published in the public database.
What the analysis measures
Purity, quantity, identity
- Chromatographic purity (%). The main peak's share of total integrated area at UV 214 nm. It is a ratio of peptide-related peaks — not a claim about absolute mass content.
- Quantity (mg/vial). Measured content against a qualified commercial reference standard, run in duplicate; both values appear on the certificate next to the label claim.
- Identity. Retention time against the reference standard. That is presumptive identity, and the certificate says so; a mass-spectrometry match (+€79 add-on) confirms it conclusively.
The complete method — column, gradient, wavelength, limits — is published on the open method page.

Worth knowing
Before you test Semax
Semax circulates in several variants — plain, N-Acetyl, and Amidate — and they are different molecules with different masses. The order form asks which variant the label claims, identity runs against that standard, and the certificate names the variant found. Ordering “Semax” without specifying the variant is the most common source of confusion for this analyte.
Price
€133 per vial, published
Semax testing is €133 at the published founder rate — see its row in the price list. Add-ons: mass-spectrometry identity confirmation +€79 (adds 5–7 days), extended CoA data +€15, additional report +€29 (at order creation), rush +50%, additional vial of the same lot −30%.
On the certificate
What the CoA shows
- Measured quantity in duplicate, next to the label claim.
- Chromatographic purity with the full impurity table, not just the headline figure.
- The identity basis, stated: retention-time (presumptive) or mass-spectral (confirmed).
- Method reference and version, so the numbers can be interrogated.
- A public database entry — every result is published, verifiable by anyone, good or bad.

FAQ
Semax testing questions
Which Semax variant do you test?
All the circulating ones — plain Semax, N-Acetyl Semax and Semax Amidate — at the same price. Specify the variant your label claims when ordering; identity is run against that specific standard.
How much does Semax testing cost?
€133 per vial at the published founder rate: chromatographic purity plus duplicate quantification in mg per vial, with the result published in the public database. Mass-spectrometry identity confirmation is +€79, extended CoA data +€15, and an additional report +€29 at order creation.
How long does Semax testing take?
The target turnaround is 48–72 hours from sample receipt. A rush option at +50% moves the sample to the front of the queue; the mass-spectrometry add-on adds 5–7 days.
